We just picked it up and hung it today! Whoopie!
I'm so happy my DH was agreeable to doing this!!!
Our black-eyed susans are at the end of their blossoming, but I wanted to include some other color in the photos.
Thanks for looking!

Fabulous!! Boy, do I miss New York! I'm a New York native living in Nevada... so you can understand why I miss New York! Your barn quilt is beautiful, as well as your grounds. Your flowers are beautiful and I love the arbor. Thanks for sharing!

That blank wall was just perfect for a barn quilt. Love it against the red barn.

Perfect spot for your "quilt". I would love one on the side of my house:)

First off it is beautiful. Next your setting is so pretty and the block you chose accents that area just perfectly!!!! If I ever drive by your house I will recognize it immediately!

This summer was so dry, you would think we were living in Nevada! lol
Thank you for the compliments! My husband made the arbor bench.

I could have made it myself, given the time and space, but a friend in nearby Lima, NY painted it for me. He does them as a hobby -- claims that he doesn't want it to become a business.

It is lovely! And the colors harmonize so beautifully with the barn (and the flowers, and your pretty arbor).

Very neat it looks great!!!!

coopah 09-04-2012 03:48 AM

Curious as to what your friend painted it on..plywood or something else? Is it sealed for the weather or does the paint do that? I'd enjoy making my own, but don't know even the basics of such a thing. Yours is certainly beautiful and just sets off the beautiful yard.

Love it! Mine is hanging over the garage door! Lots of comments. People will say "Are you a quilter?" So people do know what they are. I made mine on a piece of wood that is 3/4" thick - 12x12. I spray painted the background, found me a pattern and got out the handy-dandy ruler and made the design. I made Bear Tracks for my sister and it turned out really nice. I want to make Card Trick for Mom and then the neighbor is going to get one that refers to our neighborhood (which just happens to be the best darn neighborhood in these whole United States of America!!!!! Kinda partial, I am!!!!!

They are fun to paint. I use a lot of painter's tape to cover the pattern as I do it. Then I use Polyurethane paint - three coats - to protect it from the elements - I have had mine hanging over the garage door for about three years now, got knocked down in a windstorm, but the Minnesota weather has not harmed it at all. I use Delta Ceramcoat - acrylic paint - works like a charm. Have fun!!!!! Edie
